Comey Invalidates Special Counsel
Gingrich Productions ^ | 06/09/17 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 06/11/2017 7:53:42 PM PDT by Enlightened1

"I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter – didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons – but I asked him to, because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”

This statement is tremendously important because it completely delegitimizes Robert Mueller’s so-called independent investigation and reveals it as poisoned fruit.

Think about it: Comey was the top law enforcement officer in the nation before he was fired on May 9. Had he felt a special counsel was necessary to investigate possible Russian influence in the 2016 election, he could have requested one from Congress at any time. If he felt his conversations with President Trump warranted additional attention, he could have approached Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about it.

But instead he decided to do nothing. Comey apparently didn’t think there was need for a special counsel until the Monday after he was fired, according to his testimony. In a clear act of retaliation, Comey went outside the system and shared secret information with the media via a college professor-friend, in a calculated attempt to inflict pain on the Trump Administration. Further, he said he turned all his memos about his conversations over to the special counsel upon his termination – so Mueller’s investigators already had all they needed to make their own decisions.


<snip>

So, what we have here is a fired FBI director, who leaked private material to the press, so he could get his friend appointed as a special counsel in order to take retribution on the President – with the aid of a department full of federal lawyers who would have rather seen Hillary in the White House. And we are supposed to believe this will be an objective, unbiased investigation?

Sessions needs to get Grand Juries in place and indict Brennen, Comey, etc. for leaking. Sessions then needs to get a Grand Jury in place and indict Lynch for Obstruction. Ditto Eric Holder for Fast and Furious. Ditto for the IRS debacle. While he is at it start a Grand Jury and indict Hillary and Bill for the Clinton Foundation mess. All that needs to be done on the same day. If you are going to mess with the Swamp attack as many Heads at once and attack hard.

On that same day fire all Obama holdovers and escort them out of the buildings with private security. Have the FBI (with loyal To America agents) escort the Dem's IT staff out of Congress and lock them up until Grand Juries are set up for them. If it is war they want, then give them war President Trump.

They couldn’t stop him. Mueller? What exactly made him the only pick for special prosecutor? There are plenty of unemployed lawyers who could have gotten the job.

The Pak IT staff has already flown the coup and is under government protection in Islamabad. Time for a seal team to make another hit on just one of them.

You posted, “Today, Mr. Comey admitted that he leaked to friends...”
The fascinating word here is “friends” (plural)
We know Comey leaked to the Columbia U. prof, but who else?

If Jeff Sessions and/or Rod Rosenstein can be coaxed out from under their desks long enough to do the right thing and end Mueller’s investigation, all the better. Comey’s testimony just invalidated need for special counsel!

Ask The President’s lawyer. He’s the one that said it.

I am confident it will be specified in the subpoena.

And why no scrambling to interview this “college professor”?

You can bet they’d be camped out on his doorstep demanding his resignation if he had HELPED Trump.

(The 'money quote' from the article by Comey):" "I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter –
didn’t do it myself for a variety of reasons –
but I asked him to, because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel.”

This statement is tremendously important because it completely delegitimizes Robert Mueller’s so-called independent investigation and reveals it as poisoned fruit."

This quote clearly shows premeditation and anticipation of a future legal investigation .
Don't forget that up until Trump, the "Swamp" and the 'Seventh Floor' ran Washington ,.. unobstructed !

It was private material. He wrote it (allegedly) on a FBI Lap Top. Thus making it Work Product and subject to the Federal Records Act. He also violated USC 641. He’s looking at 10 years if indicted.
